Also note, we'd love your help digging potatoes on Saturday, August 24th from 10 am to noon. More details to come; this is a family-friendly event.... The more hands, the merrier! And an excellent educational opportunity for your children, too.

For your menu-planning this week, you may anticipate:

• heirloom tomatoes
• lettuce
• garlic
• Torpedo onions
• peppers/eggplant
• summer squash
• German Butterball potatoes

Week #8 on Red Hill Farm! By Angela

This is a full share and bi-weekly Friday pickup week.

You can see how onions enjoy the sun!

The blazing sun has done us well & our storage onion harvests have begun. We did pull shallots last Friday & will be distributing them over this week and next week. Please use these sooner than later. Because of the quantities of rain they endured, I do not anticipate them to store well--so, eat them while the eating is good!

The sweet corn is bountiful this week, so invite your friends over & enjoy this all-American taste of summer!

Brendan will be the farmer in the shareroom this week.  Joanne will be available on the farm this Tuesday from 1 pm to 3 pm.
